    This well-known collector had an uneasy feeling about the number 6, so to be on the safe side he bought a seventh Countach, and so there are 7.

    Hi guys,

    I pictured this Countach in Italy 2 days ago.
    First owner, picked it up personally at the factory in 1988.
    120.000 km driven now, and FAST km!
    He drives 310 km/h on the German autobahn if he gets the chance..
    Originally ordered with white wheels and rear spoiler.
    Wonderfull looking car!

    Ciao!
    Marcel

    Yes, me too! It gets even better. The owner and his lovely wife told me that they we're also at the Lamborghini meeting in Luxemburg in 1988, in fact, that meeting was the first meeting they ever did with the car. So I just checked my archive, and here we go!!!!!! still on export plates, brand new!!! 23 years ago, haha!! big fun! I guess the owner will love these pictures for sure!
    Ciao!

    Great story!

    Interesting to see some 1988 cars came with Hella driving lamps rather than Carellos!

    I had the opportunity to see this LP400 in person about three weeks ago, truly beautiful. I took a few pictures however I prefer to leave the pleasure to the owner to post them. Fantastic option inside the cockpit.............

    May be i missed the discussion but was the front bumper another approved rare flavor of DOT wisdom? or is this a custom thing?

    This car represents the first factory attempt at bureaucratic jackassishness.
